THE OHIO LEAGUE.
Gossip About the Competitors of the

Gossip About the Competitors Of the
Wheeling Club. Asr
There has been somewhat OF lull in
Ohio League circles for the past week, the
managers of the different clubs devOting
their time mostly to local arrangements.
Work on the grounds at Mansfield and
Louisville is under way, but - vet the
Columbus management has not decided on
site. The latter, however, have about
come to the conclusion to lease grounds in
most popular portion, and is
building up faster than any other locality.
The Columbus management has assured
the other members of the League that
they will adhere strictly to the salary
limit and the balance of the rules of the
League. So there need no longer be any
objection to the Capital City on that
ground. At the same time the Columbus
people will get the strongest team pos
sible, with q view to filling the first
vacancy in the American Association.
W. A. Calhoun, Of East Liverpool, has
been secured as n manager, and the work
of signing players will be. commenced at
once. By the series of Ohio League games
and the exhibition games with the As
sociation and League clubs, the Columbus
management hopes to rekindle the interest
in the national game in that city, so tha
it will be prepared for a more extensive
deal in 1888.
At the Ohio League meeting several
changes in the League rules will be pro-
posed, and it is now about certain that the
four-umpire system will be adopted. This
will insure much fairer treatment to the
various clubs, and four good umpires will
be much easier found than eight. Partial
umpiring did much to injure the game in
Zanesville last season, both on the part of
visiting and the home club.
The only Ohio League city out Of eight
which has not its capital stock all sub
scribed is Akron. The officers Of the other
clubs have offered to give Manager Show
ers all the assistance within their power,
and it is thought the necessary amount
will be raised next week.
